    Butterscotch Cheesecake Bars was a dessert I really didn't need to make. You see, I was making it for a benefit in honor of a sweet boy and his family.  I wasn't entirely sure how it would turn out; so I made it with time to spare, to be able to try it then cut it up and send it to the benefit.

    I didn't like the way it was hard to get out of the pan and I didn't want them to have to deal with a sticky dessert. So we kept it, I made a few other things and we ate it.

    It is so good. (Yes, I know how to get rid of the stickiness and I will share that in the recipe.) The flavors of butterscotch and cream cheese blend so wonderfully in this dessert. The crust is made out of boxed cake mix so it adds a great flavor to the recipe.

    In fact, if you aren't a butterscotch fan, you could change out the butterscotch for vanilla or chocolate chips. Mint chips would be very delightful in this! Then, after you change out the chips in this recipe, you could change the flavor of cake mix. Strawberry, lemon, chocolate, spice...okay, I think I need to make this again. And soon!!!

    First, on the stove, I melted the butter and butterscotch chips. Then I mixed in the cake mix and some almonds. I pressed the mixture on the bottom of a well greased 9x13 pan. {Note I said ~ well greased!} :-)

    I then mixed the cream cheese mixture with the milk, vanilla and egg.

    You don't need a Kitchen Aid Mixer for this recipe, a hand held mixer works just as well. I will say, I do use my Kitchen Aid Mixer often. Not only for mixing but for kneading dough. It saves me so much work and time! I will also say my hand held mixer is pretty old and I need a new one.

    Butterscotch Cheesecake Bars recipe is a dessert with only a handful of ingredients. Made with butterscotch chips and cream cheese, this dessert will be requested over and over.
